Acceptable Stay, Some Shortcomings

I found the location quite convenient. It was close to transportation options. The kitchenette included a fridge, useful. I appreciated that fresh towels were provided daily..

The route to my room reminded me of a maze. There were multiple doors to navigate. The room's decor looked somewhat worn. Several areas needed paint touch-ups. This gave a slightly shabby impression..
